Sam Smith Says ‘Awful’ Skiing Accident Left Them Unable To Walk For A Month
HuffPost
“I got taken down in a blood bag,” said the English singer, who tore their ACL on the slopes.
Sam Smith was left unable to walk for a month after their ski excursion didn’t go according to plan.
While recently appearing on BBC’s “Sidetracked with Annie and Nick” podcast, the singer, 32, revealed they tore their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after overestimating their skiing skills on a black slope, a challenging route for more advanced skiers.
“I completely ripped my ACL,” Smith, who goes by they/them pronouns, explained of the incident. “I was an idiot and went on a black slope on the second day. I got taken down in a blood bag. It was the worst.”
The “Stay with Me” songwriter didn’t specify when the incident took place, but People reports that Smith was spotted wearing a brace on their leg and holding a walking stick in New York City in January.
“It’s in between your bones and helps you jump and spring around,” Smith said of the ligament in the knee that helps stabilize the knee joint. “It completely ripped, and I decided to go down the nonsurgical route, but I couldn’t walk for a month on this leg and it was awful.”
